Free for Instructors and Workers- We are always looking for more volunteers so feel free to reach out to the club if you are available (Saturday lunch and Sunday TnT included)
As a Novice, you will get an entire day of instruction. The day begins at 8am with classroom instruction from our experienced club members. Then, we’ll all have lunch. After lunch, you’ll be paired with another club member to coach you on course. You can expect to get 10 to 15 runs thru the course with tips and coaching the whole time.
If you’ve had the Novice class and would like to spend time advancing your skills, the Advanced class begins at 8am with experienced club members riding with you and helping you to hit that next level. Then after lunch, the Advanced class become the instructors or course workers for the novice students.
Finally, there is an option to run as a Test n Tune entry on Saturday at the same time as the Advanced students. Similarly, after the lunch break, people that signed up for the Test n Tune will either instruct or work course for the novice school portion of the day.
All students, instructors, workers and Tnt entries from Saturday will have free entry to the Sunday Test n Tune, which will run on the same course as the Saturday School. The Test n Tune is also open for seperate Sunday registration for those that want to come and drive without receiving any instruction.
Lunch will be provided on Saturday during the school.

Event requirements
Basic Event Guidelines and Safety
- A valid drivers license is required in order to participate, please bring drivers license with you to registration. Temporary permits are allowed if parent/guardian remains present while driving.
- Please note that our insurance doesn't allow tippy vehicles like SUVs. Please consult the 2023 SCCA Solo Rulebook section 3.1 and the beginning of Appendix A. Regardless of the listing, all vehicles may be subjected to the Height/Width check by the SS's on-site.
- All vehicles must pass safety inspection on the following points prior to running: working seat belts, throttle return action, secure battery, *no* leaks, adequate brake pedal, tire condition, tie-rods, and wheel bearings.
- All loose items, snap-on hubcaps, detachable fender skirts, speaker boxes, center caps, and trim rings must be removed.
- Closed toe shoes are required (no sandals or flip-flops) while driving.
- Certified Helmets are required (Snell M2010/SA2010 or newer), but the club has loaner helmets to provide as well. If you don't know the rating of your helmet you can look inside for a sticker, just may need to pull back some of the padding to locate the sticker. If you want to purchase a helmet you can look online at places like Solo Performance Specialties.
- All adults present in the event site (whether they are participating or not) will need to sign the waiver when they arrive on site.
- Minors must have a signed minor waiver. If there are 2 parents/legal guardians they both need to either sign it while being witnessed by registration or have a notary sign it saying they witnessed the signature. One parent/legal guardian must be onsite for the entire event. If on a learner's permit, the parent can either ride along with the student or give written permission to have an instructor ride with them instead.
